The new changes sure sounds like a great offer.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Here is the overview on how it will work according to their reddit post


"Find our miner program here: https://fund.zclassic.org
After speaking with miners, we have decided to optimize our Voluntary Miner Contribution Program to be more attractive for miners to participate. Essentially, we will be having an auction system whereby 62,500 BTCP will be awarded in total to all miners in the program no matter how much ZCL is mined up to 50,000 ZCL total. In this way we allow miners to arrive at a fair market value for their contributions, while continuing to enable their support of BTCP.
 
Essentially, if you end up mining 1% of the total ZCL contributed, you would get 625 BTCP, no matter how much ZCL the entire pool donated. If you mined 10%, you would get 6250 BTCP, and so on.
 
So how can I calculate how much BTCP I have earned? Use this simple equation:
BTCP Earned = ZCL you mined for Fund x 62,500/(Total ZCL donated by pool)
 
Here are some examples of how this will work:
 
1) If 20,000 ZCL are mined at the end of the program, and you mined 100 ZCL, you would get 312.50 BTCP (100*62500/20000)
2) If 30,000 ZCL are mined at the end of the program, and you mined 200 ZCL, you would get 416.67 BTCP (200*62500/30000)
3) If 40,000 ZCL are mined at the end of the program, and you mined 300 ZCL, you would get 468.75 BTCP (300*62500/40000)
4) If 50,000 ZCL (program cap) are mined at the end of the program, and you mined 400 ZCL, you would get 500 BTCP (400*62500/50000)
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Common Questions:
 
Why can't I just donate ZCL directly? That is considered an ICO and has legal ramifications.
Where do the 62.5k BTCP come from? We will generate them all during the fork and then send to the proper addresses.
Why are you doing this? We need funding for exchanges (50%), development (25%), marketing (15%), and general/administrative (10%)."

Interesting idea to make people mine their coins, but i wonder whether this coin is profitable compared with popular coins such as ETH & XMR since i couldn't find anything about their coins info.

The reason you can't get info on how profitable it is to mine BTCP doesn't exist yet. You can however make an estimation on its value by looking at ZCL current price: Before announcement ZCL was worth 4$ usd and today is worth 116$. I think its save to that BTCP is at the very least valued around 112$ usd today.
